Local Officials Set For Hearing On Miami Tennis Venue Upgrades

The Miami-Dade County Commission today is scheduled to hold a hearing and vote on renovation of Crandon Park Tennis Center, host venue of the ATP/WTA Sony Open. Upgrades would include the addition of "tens of thousands of square feet to the tennis center's main stadium and building permanent grandstands for three more courts." Also up for possible vote today are three other agreements, including one that would extend the tournament's lease. But the votes "could be postponed" (MIAMI HERALD, 11/5).
